HC Deb 21 February 1882 vol 266 c1265
MR. GLADSTONE

Sir, I beg to move, in accordance with the terms of my Notice, that the House on its rising do adjourn until to-morrow (Ash Wednesday) at 2 o'clock. This course was not taken last year in consequence of the urgency of the Business before the House; but this year we deem it advisable to revert to the usual practice.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House will meet To-morrow, at Two of the clock."—(Mr. Gladstone.)

SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

asked at what time the consideration of the Rules of Procedure would be resumed to-night?

MR. GLADSTONE

Not after half-past 10 o'clock.

Question put.

The House divided:—Ayes 181; Noes 36: Majority 145.—(Div. List, No. 16.)
